The Lithuanian architectural practice around Gintautas Natkevičius realised this luxurious single family home on a site near Vilnius where in the Middle Age a cannon foundry, was based.

“At the glass shape zone in the basment we can find the turkish bath with a rest rooms and a garage for two cars.
On the ground floor there are living room, kitchen, dining room and a wardrobe.
Glass form is not an end to itself. From each point on the ground floor area on a 360 degrees offers fantastic views of regional park.
Ground floor space is like a yard of a historical lodge.”
